The Youngberry 
The Youngrberi^ —The fruit is very 
large and very juicy, with a rich blended 
flavor that is pleasing to nearly every¬ 
one. The color so very dark red that it 
is nearly black and the seeds are few in 
number and soft. The vines are vigorous 
growers; trailing in habit, and should be 
trellised. The fruit is borne on long 
fruit stems that thrust it away from the 
vines ready to be picked, and the canes 
are not very thorny, which makes pick¬ 
ing very easy. If you are not growing 
Youngberries you should, for you are 
missing something. 
It is hardy throughout the south half 
of the United States, and in some dis¬ 
tricts is successfully grown farthei' 
north. 
The Youngberry is very popular in Cali, 
fornia and Oregon, and acreage in these 
districts has increased amazingly during 
the last few years. In 1937 there was 
one million pounds of Youngberries 
frozen in Los Angeles alone. These 
berries are then sold to the preserving 
plants, and to the large pie bakers 
throughout the year. This makes a fine 
market for Youngberries, and in fact is 
the coming method of marketing all 
varieties of berries on a large scale. 
A Basket of Youngberries 
Youngberries can be grown and picked 
cheaper than many of the older varieties 
of berries, and since now, there is a year 
’round market instead of the crop having 
to be sold in a few weeks as was the 
case a few years ago. There is oppor¬ 
tunity for considerable expansion. Com¬ 
mercial growers should take this into 
consideration, and plant varieties which 
are in demand for freezing and canning. 
The Youngberry is an excellent variety 
for home use, because it is good fresh, 
for pies, canned, and makes excellent 
jams and jellies, and for only $1.00 we 
can deliver to you 10 plants, which is 
sufficient for a row 60 feet long. 
Plant 6 feet apart in rows spaced 6 
feet part. About 1000 plants per acre. 
Write for special prices in larger 
quantities or prices f. o. b. here. 
Prices prepaid—1, 15c; 10, $1.00; 25, 
$2.00; 50, $3.00; 100, $4.50; 1000, $35.00. 
These prices are for the genuine 
Youngberry. If you wish the Thornless 
Youngberry, add 2c per plant to the 
above prices. We still find the ordinary 
Youngberry most profitable to grow on 
account of the heavier yield.

DEWBERRIES 
Gardena — This berry is adapted to, 
roughly, the south one-third of the U. S. 
and is the earliest variety of dewberry 
or blackberry that is safe in a large part 
of this area. This same variety is known 
in Texas and some of the Southern 
states as “Austin” or “Mayes” and in 
some sections as “Mayes Austin.” 
It is an excellent variety to plant in a 
small way to start the bush berry 
season. 
Prices—Bach, 15c; 10 for $1.00; 25 for 
$2.00; 50 for $3.00; 100 for $4.50; 1000 
for $35.00. 
Bucretia —This fine dewberry is hardy 
in nearly any part of the U. S. The fruit 
is quite large and ships well. The mar¬ 
ket for Dewberries is diminishing be¬ 
cause they ripen the same time as 
Youngberries and Boysenberries, which 
for many purposes are better. 
Prices—Each, 15c; 10 for $1.00; 25 for 
$2.00; 50 for $3.00; 100 for $4.50; 1000 
for $35.00. 
Rogers —This is the earliest dewberry 
we have ever seen. It is evergreen and 
in many respects very similar to the 
Advance blackberry. The vine is trail¬ 
ing like other dewberries. The fruit 
starts ripening in April and is very good 
quality, although, a little tart like most 
very early fruits. Rogers should only 
be planted in the very warmest sections 
where the winter temperature rarely 
goes below 25° above, and where there is 
little danger of frost after March 10, 
which is the time this berry is in blos¬ 
som. 
Prices prepaid—Each 15c; 10 for $1.25; 
25 for $2.50; 50 for $4.00; 100 for $5.50; 
1000 for $45.00. 
HOW MUCH DO YOU MAKE FROM 
TWO ACRES? 
James Cole of Cypress, California, set 
out two acres of our Boysenberry plants 
in 1935. In 1936 he sold 2665 trays for 
$1,493.45. In 1937 from the same two 
acres, he sold 3581 trays for $1,942.45. 
Nearly all of this fruit was sold at 
wholesale, and of course would have 
brought much higher prices had he been 
able to sell at retail. However, returns 
of $3,435.90 from two acres in two sea¬ 
sons is more than some farmers receive 
from many times this much land.
